Within the framework of Germany’s presidency of the Council of the European Union, NEMO and the German Museums Association co-organised the online conference Museums and Social Responsibility – Values revisited from 17-18 September 2020. This conference focused on what social responsibility means for museums. Through their daily work, museums make a significant contribution to social responsibility by dealing with questions that are connected to social cohesion, social inclusion and social diversity.
The keynote speech was by Karen Grøn, Trapholt Museum of Modern Art and Design, and also featured panel discussions on Social investment and Community involvement. Additionally, the discussion also focused on the future of Europe and museums’ role in it with Sabine Verheyen, CULT Committee, and Julia Pagel, NEMO.
